From Russia with Blood: The Kremlin's Ruthless Assassination Program and Vladamir Putin's Secret War on the West

Autor Heidi Blake
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 23 sep 2019
Taking readers on thrilling ride inside the high-rolling underworld of Russia's exiled oligarchs, award-winning journalist Heidi Blake (Buzzfeed) illuminates Putin's alarming assassination campaign and the West's shocking attempts to cover them up In 2014, Scot Young plummeted from the window of his London penthouse. Despite his repeated warnings to friends, family, and the police that he was being tailed by a Russian hit-squad, and the deaths of his eight associates, British police declared Young's fall a suicide and shut the case within minutes of arriving on the scene. For years, Young was a high-rolling British fixer for a ring of exiled Russian oligarchs, most notably Boris Berezovsky, who brought with them extensive organized crime connections and came to the UK tailed by teams of Russian spies deployed to track their every move. Public enemies of Putin, these emigres extracted enormous wealth from Russia and openly criticized Putin's regime, using their power and influence abroad to raise questions about an emboldened FSB. As tensions rose, bodies began to mysteriously pile up, yet any British investigations were uncomfortably subdued and quickly shut down. Based on 250 boxes of documents, years of reporting, and interviews with hundreds of associates, From Russia With Blood tells this story, revealing how the death of Berezovsky, Young, and countless others can be linked to Putin's assassination program--and how Western governments are failing to protect those living abroad against the threat.

'A real life thriller, packed with characters that even John le Carre couldn't dream of. If this doesn't scare you, then you're not paying attention.' Oliver Bullough They thought they would be safe in Britain. They were wrong.

'Brilliantly and bravely researched, this book lays bare the brutal and murderous truth' Jon Snow of Channel 4 News 'A spellbinding and heart-in-your-throat true story of Russian money and serial killing ... In addition to being an unputdownable story, her shocking expose will hopefully change the way the British authorities act ' Bill Browder, author of Red Notice 'Gripping ... When Putin opponents start dropping dead from poisonings, suspicious accidents and surprise heart attacks,the chronology is as damning as it is alarming' New York Times Exposing one of the most terrifying stories of our time, Heidi Blake investigates a string of suspicious deaths on British and American soil to build a shocking picture.

Russia systematically assassinates those who dare to flee its grasp - as well as the British citizens who get in the way. Meanwhile, the British authorities turn a blind eye, every investigation curtailed in favour of courting the Kremlin. Based on the revelatory discovery of over a dozen ignored murders, this is a chilling, page-turning read.
